Sales Contract

Rabbits are amazing living, breathing animals. As such, I have created these sales policies for the benefit of the rabbits and to clarify expectations prior to purchase. By purchasing any rabbits from me, you are agreeing to all the terms and conditions stated herein:

SALES:

• All sales are final. No refunds, replacements or exchanges.
• I will accept any rabbit back at any time, no questions asked.
• No rabbits will leave my possession until they are paid for in full.
• Once any rabbit leaves my possession, I will not be held liable for any problems that arise from our transaction, either directly or indirectly. I do my best at all times to sell only good, healthy, quality rabbits.
• I run a privately owned rabbitry and do not have regular hours of operation. However, if you would like to see, inspect and/or interact with a specific rabbit or litter, you may contact me to arrange an appointment. I do restrict visitors to my rabbitry in order to offer my herd a peaceful and disease-free environment.
• If I sell a bred doe with an agreement that I get kits back from that breeding, the agreement will be in writing and you are expected to fulfill the agreement. Pick of the litter means I get first choice out of all of the kits from that litter. I do not guarantee that a breeding will be successful.
• I encourage all rabbits to be seen in person before purchase whenever possible.

RESERVATIONS AND HOLDS:

• I reserve the right to refuse a sale.  
• I reserve the right to complete the sale in person rather than via the internet.
• I reserve the right to refuse or terminate a sale at any time during the sales process without warning or explanation.
• I require a 50% deposit to hold a rabbit. The rabbit will be held for two weeks after deposit is paid, or two weeks past weaning whichever comes first.
• Deposits are non-refundable. However, if I cancel a sale your money will be refunded. If the rabbit  becomes ill or dies before pick up, the deposit will be refunded or it may be transferrable to another rabbit.
• Rabbits are sold on a first-come first-served basis, and I will not hold a rabbit without a deposit.
• If rabbits are not picked up within 24 hours of the arranged pick-up date and time, then your deposits/payments are forfeited, and I will resell or retain the rabbit.
• If you choose to forfeit the sale for any reason, your deposits/payments are forfeited.
• Rabbits must be at least 6 weeks old before they leave the rabbitry. 
• I accept cash at time of pickup, Venmo or via Apple pay prior to pickup. No credit cards, debit cards or checks are accepted.
• Prices may vary depending on the breed, age, sex, type, color, gender and bloodline of each individual rabbit. Often rabbits from within the same litter may result in different prices.
• Pedigrees will be available at time of pickup (if applicable) or emailed once the rabbit is paid in full.
• I reserve the right to change prices prior to deposit according to development, age, and breeding abilities.

GUARANTEES:

• I do not guarantee a rabbit's show or breeding results.
• I do not guarantee any rabbit’s future breeding ability, reproductive performance, quality of offspring, show winning, temperament, size, etc. What you see at the time of purchase is what you are purchasing and it is solely at your own risk. If you are showing or breeding, you need to know what you are looking for. It is the buyer’s responsibility to confirm that the rabbit is free from disqualifications and is the quality that you expect.
• I do not knowingly sell any sick animals, and all rabbits are sold healthy when they leave my rabbitry, to the best of my knowledge. You are responsible to check over your rabbit to be sure there are no problems at time of pickup. I will not be responsible for any vet bills incurred by rabbits that have been sold.
• I make every effort to correctly determine the sex of all rabbits, with a final confirmation before they leave my possession; however, rabbit gender cannot be 100% guaranteed.
• I handle my rabbits on a regular basis and breed for both quality and disposition.  I will not sell any rabbit that shows the slightest sign of aggression (this includes breeding stock).

PICK UP:

• Bring a suitable carrier at the time of pickup (ex: small dog carrier). If you do not have a suitable carrier, then I reserve the right to refuse to relinquish possession of the rabbit.
• I do not ship rabbits. You are welcome to arrange transport of your rabbit, but you are completely responsible for making all arrangements, additional cost and liability.
• Rabbits must be picked up within 24 hours of the arranged pick-up date and time and will only be held for up to two weeks after deposit is paid or two weeks after weaning, whichever comes first.

PREFIXES, PEDIGREES & TATTOOS:

• All pedigreed rabbits sold will retain the prefix “Clyde Farms” unless another prefix is already in place. This prefix must be retained in the name of the rabbit. If the rabbit does not have a name on its pedigree but instead lists its tattoo number, then you may name the rabbit as long as the prefix “Clyde Farms” remains.
• If the rabbit has been fully named prior to or during the time of sale, that name will remain the rabbit’s formal name.
• All rabbits sold will be tattooed according to my current system, including the prefix of “C” and they must retain their tattoo as it is applied by me.
• In the instance that I sell a pregnant doe, all offspring will carry the prefix “Clyde Farms” on their pedigrees, and be tattooed according to my current system.
• Any attempts to change the prefix or tattoo of any rabbit will be pursued and prosecuted.
• Rabbits sold as ‘pet’ quality do not come with pedigrees and should not be entered into any breeding program.
• Rabbits sold as ‘meat breeders’ do not come with pedigrees.
• Rabbits sold as fryers/roasters/etc. do not come with pedigrees and should not be entered into any breeding program.
• Rabbits listed on websites must be listed with the prefix “Clyde Farms” before their name.
